Bollack, Jean

An Anthropological Fiction - 2012.


56

Published in 1939, just before the war, Freud’s Moses and Monotheism has provoked multifarious, even contradictory, interpretations. Jean Bollack means to reconstruct a rigorous, highly speculative reading which closely respects the biblical data. The dialectics of the history of religions tends to prove the imminence of a return of barbarity concerning the entire humanity. The Jewish peril is but the most obvious symptom of the hatred of Science.
